Meet the Team,

Meet Bethany,

Bethany Stricker is a Certified Professional Midwife and a Licensed Midwife in Texas. Her goal is to bring personal, safe, holistic care to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Many women go through the birthing process without a full understanding of what their care providers are recommending for their bodies and their babies. Because of this, she values ensuring families understand the benefits and risks of their options through:

informed consent
educating the families she serves
shared decision making between herself and the mother

Bethany is passionate about helping families have natural, physiological pregnancies and births where women feel empowered and loved. Through her extensive continuing education, she incorporates homeopathy, botanical medicine, dynamic body balancing, and craniosacral therapy into her practice to help her clients remain healthy and on track for their best birth.

Kiesha Baker, LM, CPM

Kiesha is a supporting midwife and birth assistant at North Texas Midwifery. Kiesha’s journey supporting families and babies began with an undergraduate degree in psychology with a focus in early childhood development from California Baptist University. After a less than empowering hospital birth, Kiesha became interested in supporting families as a professional doula. Kiesha’s experience as a doula allows her to feel comfortable in any setting, no matter the circumstance. She also feels her hospital experience allowed her to see more high-risk situations and gave her broader experience in handling complications.

Kiesha is both a Certified Professional Midwife and Licensed Midwife and values:

informed consent through extensive education
empowering women to take care of themselves so they can live their best life
incorporating the spiritual aspects of women’s lives into birth work

When Kiesha is not catching babies, she spends time with her family, including three children, homesteading, and researching her latest homesteading project.
